INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the ReliOn® BP300 Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor,
Model # 7400REL.
Your new blood pressure monitor uses the oscillometric method of blood pressure
measurement. This means the monitor detects your blood’s movement through your
brachial artery and converts the movements into a digital reading. An oscillometric
monitor does not need a stethoscope so the monitor is simple to use.
The ReliOn
®
BP300 Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor, Model # 7400REL comes
with the following components:
• Monitor • Wide Range Cuff • AC Adapter
• Instruction Manual printed in English and Spanish • Quick Start Guide
Please read this instruction manual thoroughly before using the unit.
Please keep for future reference.
For specific information about your own blood pressure, CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR.
Fill in for future reference.

SAFETY INFORMATION
INTENDED USE
This monitor is designed to measure blood pressure and pulse rate of adults within the
range of the designated arm cuff, following the directions provided in this instruction
manual. The monitor is designed for home use. Read the Safety Information in this
instruction manual before using this monitor.
To assure the correct use of the product, basic safety measures should always be
followed including the warnings and cautions listed in this instruction manual.
OPERATING THE DEVICE
Contact your physician for specific information about your blood pressure.
Self-diagnosis and treatment using measured results may be dangerous. Follow the
instructions of your physician or licensed healthcare provider.
DO NOT adjust medication based on measurement results from this blood pressure

qualified to diagnose and treat High Blood Pressure.
The monitor is not intended to be a diagnostic device.
If battery fluid should get in your eyes, immediately rinse with plenty of clean

Read all of the information in the instruction manual and any other literature in the
box before operating the unit.
Do not use this device on infants or persons who cannot express their intentions.
Read the Special Conditions section of the instruction manual if your systolic
pressure is known to be more than 220 mmHg. Inflating to a higher pressure than
necessary may result in bruising where the cuff is applied.

BEFORE TAKING A MEASUREMENT
To ensure a reliable reading follow these recommendations:
1. Avoid eating, drinking alcohol, smoking, exercising, and bathing for 30 minutes
before taking a measurement. Rest for at least 15 minutes before taking the
measurement.
2. Stress raises blood pressure. Avoid taking measurements during stressful times.
3. Measurements should be taken in a quiet place.
4. Remove tight-fitting clothing from your left arm.
5. Sit on a chair with your feet flat on the floor. Rest your left arm on table so that the
cuff is at the same level as your heart.
6. Remain still and do not talk during the measurement.
7. Wait 2-3 minutes between measurements. The wait time allows the arteries to return
to the condition prior to taking the blood pressure measurement. You may need to
increase the wait time depending on your individual physiological characteristics.
8. Keep a record of your blood pressure and pulse readings for your physician. A
single measurement does not provide an accurate indication of your true blood
pressure. You need to take and record several readings over a period of time. Try to
measure your blood pressure at the same time each day for consistency.
